About Lemon Juice
For a spoonful, hold a liquid-filled measuring spoon level without scraping it. For larger amounts, set a liquid cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. Count juice, not the number of lemons: fruit yields vary.
Lemon juice contributes acidity as well as water and flavour. In a recipe using baking soda or an acid-set filling, keep the stated amount rather than replacing it with water and zest. This converter does not measure acidity.
Tips for measuring Lemon Juice
- Strain freshly squeezed juice before measuring.
- Check whether the recipe specifies fresh or bottled juice.
Common mistakes
- Levelling liquid juice with a knife as if it were flour.
